It was like 50k viewers 12 hours ago, now it is up at 90k viewers. Yes, there are more people watching this on twitch than people watching League of Legends right now.

This is amusing and stupid at the same time. With the input lag, it's like trying to swim upstream through a hydroelectric plant. Even if you make it through, you'll just come out in pieces in the end.

Wake me from the dead when they finish this game... ¦]

The bots have taken over anyways but it's still a pretty bizarre social experiment. I watched it for a bit.

For the Record they need to beat Phantom Lord's Live event with the hackers that shut down 5 world wide MMo's he was playing (LoL, Club Penguin, etc...) and ended up with him in a Police car with a swat team on the scene. That hit 145,000 people watching his empty chair.

(For those that don't know the website, it's a tech and news site for game development, more about and for developers than average public knowledge stuff.)
